Both he and his wife are immigrants from India to the United States. Mourning in Ajeet’s family is a way that they let the soul know that it should leave and say goodbye to the family.

Masses of innocent Sikh civilians, dressed in traditional, Indian clothing, gathered at the Golden Temple on June 8th, 1984. People gathered to celebrate an important religious holiday, the anniversary of the death of their fifth guru, Arjan Dev Ji. Women dressed in salwar kameez, and men dressed in kurta pajama. Priests recited the daily prayers, as individuals listened and paid their respects. Afterwards, they sat on the floor together and ate langar (simple food provided by the temple), as equals. In this way, Sikhs expressed the ideals of equality, and unity. However, soon this holy shrine and its pure marble floors would be stained with corpses and blood. Almost 36 hours of gruesome fighting between militant Sikhs and Indian government soldiers ensued shortly after. For the first time in the 400 years, the 24-hour prayer vigil had ceased.

The title The Namesake mirrors the struggle of Gogol Ganguli, child of Ashoke and Ashima, Indian foreigners to the U.S.A. to get personality in the way of life where he is conceived and raised with his strange name. Names do make them mean in India. A considerable measure of practice is done when a youngster is named in India. An Indian tyke for the most part conveys two names, a pet name and an official one. Pet names are for the family and neighbours and colleagues. They convey or may not convey meaning. In any case, official names are kept with a great deal of care and practice.

Ashima's link with the Indian soil is mainly because of her love for the Bengali language and the American English seems less important to her. The grasping of "a tattered copy of desh megazine" in a hospital in America indicates her temporary relief in the foreign land . Another important factor in constructing the identity of these diasporic people or immigrants is culture. In the novel, the proximity of these people to Indian soil has been illustrated through the nurturing of the Bengali culture by singing songs of Nazrul and Tagore , analysing the films of Satyajit Roy as well as debating over the political issues and parties of West Bengal. Native cultural activities like dances and songs seem to construct the cultural identity of the people and at times even negotiate with the other cultures too. In the novel, The Namesake written by Jhumpa Lahiri, Ashima's preservation of the various Bengali rituals epitomizes the bond with her native land rather than bonding with the foreign land.

...g conveyed better in the words of that language as opposed to in the English language. But, the linguistic element would in no way convey to me, as a reader, some meaning which wouldn’t come across to a non-Assamese speaker who reads the translated version of the poem. Thus, I read the poem keeping in mind the background information about the poem and the poet but that information did not distract me from deciphering the actual meaning of the text; it actually added to it. In other words, unlike the proposal of Wimsatt and Beardsley, I “consulted the oracle” and also uncovered the true meaning of the text.
